1. The "Pro Rata" isn't happening since they decided not to expand. 2. $40 million total revenue sounds good until you look at Texas. 3. I don't think the ACC gets quite as much, but I would like to see if I can get all of this data to do a similar analysis (I know I don't have it all now).
So if we take FSU's $24 million(?) from the ACC and add $6.6 million from FSU's ISP Sports 3rd tier rights deal plus the future ACCN (which should receive equal carriage as the SECN, otherwise it's a failure) revenue of $6 million, FSU is over $40 million also.
Big 12 fans are clowns that count their tier 3 revenue but not any other conference's.
That's not to say ACC money is great. It isn't. We may be even further behind the Big Ten in a few years, even with an ACCN, and we're already $10 million behind them now. We should remain pretty close with the SEC *IF* the ACCN generates roughly equal revenue as the SECN. And it should, otherwise ESPN screwed the ACC and the ACC screwed FSU. Which sadly wouldn't be all that shocking. The Big 12 is only staying alive because they're splitting revenue 10 ways instead of 14 and because they've actually negotiated well with ESPN and Fox (unlike the ACC) and gotten networks to increase their rights payments without having to even add additional teams.
